All Mac/Pan Office

[John Kuttel]

Bruce:
Just a thought, Take a look at this.
For faxes on my small business I use the  FAXstf PRO for Macintosh
by    www.smithmicro.com
A nice program that captures the fax on the incoming phone line  
stores the fax there and then sends the fax as an E-mail back out to  
designated E-mails
The program also does faxing from with in any program/desktop and  
does network faxing from a single modem from multiple intranet/ 
network macs as some new macs don't come with modems any more!
